Sole Survivor of Family Celebrates Bar Mitzvah 2 Months after Massacre
(Israel Hayom) Merav Sever - Two months after his parents and two sisters were brutally murdered in their home by Hamas terrorists during the Oct. 7 massacre at Kibbutz Nahal Oz, Ariel Zohar celebrated his bar mitzvah on Thursday. Ariel is the son of Israel Hayom videographer Yaniv Zohar and his wife Yasmin, who were murdered along with his sisters Keshet and Tchelet. One of the guests at the bar mitzvah was former Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau. Lau, a Holocaust survivor, immigrated to Israel with his older brother Naftali after their entire family was murdered by the Nazis. He told Ariel: "When my bar mitzvah party came around, my father had also been murdered, and my mother had been murdered, and I, like you, was already without parents. And yet I had a good life and achieved much. And you too will achieve, and you too will have a good life, because you see how many good people love you."
